The "ember" months are the time Buhari's real motives are exposed, get ready to see the nightmare you voted in power.

That ideology thrived 20 yrs ago - I still find it difficult to understand why people should be talking about it now and besides there is something about the 'EMBER' months and the occurrences around that period of the year that has an explanation.

Lero15:
This period, people travel a lot. So, accident rate increases.

And then the witches and wizards that would not want you to cross over to next year this is the period they suck blood

All my Ibo peeps planning to go celebrate at their hometown, this is the period they closely monitor the containers they will do comprehensive insurance on their goods too.

And then any other thing u can think of.
Introvert and LadyF can add more... Only if they make frontpage

Happy "ember" period, good people.

May the Lord protect us.

From experience people are afraid more of 'Ember' months than other months of the year. Is it a myth or reality? Please share your experience. Happy new month of September to us all,God bless us all.

Biko explain. I'm all ears/eyes

Well, it's got nothing to do with superstitious beliefs and all that jabah jabah !!!

During the last 20 yrs Nigerian roads were worse than they are today with numerous potholes and lots of these drivers are usually under the influence of alcohol ,then you have a situation where most people are almost travelling to their indigenous states,villages and towns because this is the period were everyone can go home and see family members that lives far away.

Now you have too many people travelling through these roads and all these factors can cause a lot of pressure and when the inevitable happens and considering that this situation lasted for a very long time the local people that couldn't tell why these too many accidents keep happening in a particular time of the year then attributed it to the 'ember' months and it stuck.

Bad roads(poor infrastructure)
Bad journey management
Mass movement of people
Bad vehicles that are prolly overworked as a result of demand for services
Drug and substance abuse by drivers
Over speed (as a result of the attitude of the drivers and the nature of the business ,where drivers try to load quickly and offload quickly to load again thereby making more money)

These factors were responsible for those deadly accidents that ravaged the country those years and if you notice you'll see that the moments the roads were getting better and the rate at which collisions are happening during these periods have reduced but not totally non existence anyway.
